A first source electrode S1 of the first thin film transistor T1 is connected to a second drain electrode D2 of the second thin film transistor T2 and a fifth drain electrode D5 of the fifth thin film transistor T5. A first drain electrode D1 of the first thin film transistor T1 is connected to a third source electrode S3 of the third thin film transistor T3 and a sixth source electrode S6 of the sixth thin film transistor T6.

An initialization voltage Vint is applied through the initialization line RL.

A fifth gate electrode G5 of the fifth thin film transistor T5 is connected to an emission control line EM, a fifth source electrode S5 of the fifth thin film transistor T5 is connected to a common power line PL, and the fifth drain electrode D5 of the fifth thin film transistor T5 is connected to the first source electrode S1 of the first thin film transistor T1.

A sixth gate electrode G6 of the sixth thin film transistor T6 is connected to the emission control line EM, and the sixth source electrode S6 of the sixth thin film transistor T6 is connected to the first drain electrode D1 of the first thin film transistor T1.

Thus, signal lines for transmitting gate signals include the first gate line GLn that transmits a first gate signal to each of the second gate electrode G2 and the third gate electrode G3, the second gate line GLn-1 that transmits a second gate signal to the fourth gate electrode G4, the third gate line GLn-2 that transmits a third gate signal to the seventh gate electrode G7, and the emission control line EM that transmits a light emission control signal to each of the fifth gate electrode G5 and the sixth gate electrodes G6.

The capacitor Cst includes a first electrode CE1 connected to the common power line PL, and a second electrode CE2 connected to the first gate electrode G1 of the first thin film transistor T1 and the third drain electrode D3 of the third thin film transistor T3.

The OLED includes a first electrode 171, a second electrode 173 disposed on the first electrode 171, and an organic light emission layer 172 disposed between the first electrode 171 and the second electrode 173 (see FIG. 5 ), which will be described in further detail below. The first electrode 171 of the OLED is connected to the seventh source electrode S7 of the seventh thin film transistor T7 and a sixth drain electrode D6 of the sixth thin film transistor T6. The second voltage ELVSS is applied through the second electrode 173.

Hereinafter, an operation of the pixel PX will be described by way of example.

First, when the third gate signal is transmitted to the third gate line GLn-2 and the seventh thin film transistor T7 is turned on, a residual current flowing through the first electrode 171 of the OLED is discharged to the fourth thin film transistor T4 through the seventh thin film transistor T7 such that unintended light emission due to the residual current flowing through the first electrode 171 of the OLED is suppressed.

Next, when the second gate signal is transmitted to the second gate line GLn-1 and the initialization signal is transmitted to the initialization line RL, the fourth thin film transistor T4 is turned on and the initialization voltage Vint based on the initialization signal is applied to the first gate electrode G1 of the first thin film transistor T1 and the second electrode CE2 of the capacitor Cst through the fourth thin film transistor T4, such that the first gate electrode G1 and the capacitor Cst are initialized. In this example, the first gate electrode G1 is initialized and the first thin film transistor T1 is turned on.

Subsequently, when the first gate signal is transmitted to the first gate line GLn and the data signal is transmitted to the data line DL, each of the second thin film transistor T2 and the third thin film transistor T3 is turned on and a data voltage Vd based on the data signal is applied to the first gate electrode G1 through the second thin film transistor T2, the first thin film transistor T1, and the third thin film transistor T3.

In this example, a voltage applied to the first gate electrode G1 is a compensation voltage Vd+Vth, Vth having a value of (−), which is obtained by subtracting a threshold voltage Vth of the first thin film transistor T1 from the data voltage Vd applied from an initial data line DL. The compensation voltage Vd+Vth, which is applied to the first gate electrode G1, is also applied to the second electrode CE2 of the capacitor Cst connected to the first gate electrode G1.

Next, a driving voltage Ve1 based on a driving signal is applied from the common power line PL to the first electrode CE1 of the capacitor Cst and the compensation voltage Vd+Vth is applied to the second electrode CE2, such that electric charges corresponding to a difference between voltages respectively applied to both electrodes of the capacitor Cst is stored in the capacitor Cst, and the first thin film transistor T1 is turned on for a predetermined amount of time.

Next, when the emission control signal is applied to the emission control line EM, each of the fifth thin film transistor T5 and the sixth thin film transistor T6 is turned on, such that the driving voltage Ve1 based on the driving signal from the common power line PL is applied to the first thin film transistor T1 through the fifth thin film transistor T5.

In this example, as the driving voltage Ve1 passes through the first thin film transistor T1 which is turned on by the capacitor Cst, a driving current Id corresponding to a difference between the driving voltage Ve1 and a voltage applied to the first gate electrode G1 by the capacitor Cst flows through the first drain electrode D1 of the first thin film transistor T1, and the driving current Id is applied to the OLED through the sixth thin film transistor T6 such that the OLED emits light for a predetermined amount of time.

The conductive lines DL, PL, BE1, BE2, and BE3 may be manufactured through a substantially same process using a substantially same material. For example, the conductive lines DL, PL, BE1, BE2, and BE3 may include or be formed of aluminum (Al) or alloys thereof, silver (Ag) or alloys thereof, copper (Cu) or alloys thereof, molybdenum (Mo) or alloys thereof, chromium (Cr), tantalum (Ta), and/or titanium (Ti). In an exemplary embodiment, the conductive lines DL, PL, BE1, BE2, and BE3 may have a multilayer structure including a refractory metal layer and a low-resistance conductive layer. As such, the conductive lines DL, PL, BE1, BE2, and BE3 include a conductive material.

A second protection layer 132 is disposed on the conductive lines DL, PL, BE1, BE2, and BE3. According to an exemplary embodiment, the second protection layer 132 may include a photosensitive material. For example, the second protection layer 132 may include a photosensitive polymer resin.

The second protection layer 132 protects the conductive lines DL, PL, BE1, BE2, and BE3, and is also used to planarize upper surfaces thereof. However, when the conductive lines DL, PL, BE1, BE2 and BE3 are thick, an upper portion of the conductive lines DL, PL, BE1, BE2 and BE3 may not be completely planarized by the second protection layer 132.

As OLED display technology advances, due to integration of wirings, an increased amount of current or data is transmitted with a wiring having a small planar area. Accordingly, the thickness of the wiring becomes thick. When the conductive lines DL, PL, BE1, BE2 and BE3 become thick, even if the second protection layer 132 is disposed on the upper portion of the conductive lines DL, PL, BE1, BE2 and BE3, the upper portion thereof may not be completely planarized.

Thus, according to an exemplary embodiment, the OLED display device 101 includes a plurality of openings OP, each opening OP having an asymmetrical shape on a plane such that an overlap area between overlapped conductive lines from among the conductive lines DL, PL, BE1, BE2, and BE3 below the second protection layer 132 and the opening OP is configured in a manner to alleviate step difference unbalance or asymmetry due to the conductive lines DL, PL, BE1, BE2 and BE3, as described in detail below.

When the first electrode 171 is a transflective electrode or a reflective electrode, the first electrode 171 may include at least one of Ag, Mg, Al, Pt, Pd, Au, Ni, Nd, Jr, Cr, and Cu.

According to an exemplary embodiment, the OLED display device 101 further includes a connection electrode 175 protruding from the first electrode 171. In an exemplary embodiment, the connection electrode 175 is connected to the third connection electrode BE3 through a contact hole defined at the second protection layer 132. The first electrode 171 and the connection electrode 175 may be manufactured through a substantially same process using a substantially same material.

The pixel defining layer 190 divides the light emission area and is disposed on the second protection layer 132.

The pixel defining layer 190 may include a polymer organic material. The pixel defining layer 190 may include at least one of, for example, a polyimide (PI) resin, a polyacrylic resin, a PET resin, and a PEN resin.

For example, the first electrode 171 overlaps at least a part of the pixel defining layer 190, and does not overlap the pixel defining layer 190 at the opening 195. In addition, according to exemplary embodiments, the light emission area of the OLED is defined by the opening OP.

The organic light emission layer 172 is disposed on the first electrode 171. For example, the organic light emission layer 172 is disposed on the first electrode 171 at the opening OP. In an exemplary embodiment, the organic light emission layer 172 is disposed on a sidewall of the opening OP defined by the pixel defining layer 190 and on the pixel defining layer 190.

The organic light emission layer 172 includes a light emitting material. In addition, the organic light emission layer 172 may include a host and a light emitting dopant. The organic light emission layer 172 may be formed through various methods such as, for example, a vacuum deposition method, a spin coating method, a cast method, a langmuir-blodgett (LB) method, an inkjet printing method, a laser printing method, a laser induced thermal imaging (LITI) method, etc.

At least one of a hole injection layer (HIL) and a hole transport layer (HTL) may be disposed between the first electrode 171 and the organic light emission layer 172.

The second electrode 173 is disposed on the organic light emission layer 172.

FIG. 6 is a plan view illustrating only conductive lines and an opening of an OLED display device according to an exemplary embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 6 , for convenience of illustration, only conductive lines BE1, DL, and PL and an opening OP are shown. As shown in FIG. 6 , according to an exemplary embodiment, an opening OP is divided into a first polygon and a second polygon with respect to a first imaginary straight line SL extending in the first direction DR1. The first imaginary straight line SL extends substantially parallel to the conductive lines DL, PL, BE1, BE2, and BE3. The first imaginary straight line SL passes through the opening OP at a maximum length in the first direction DR1. The opening OP on a plane may be divided into a first region S1 having a first triangular shape and a second region S2 having a second triangular shape with respect to the first imaginary straight line SL. The first region S1 corresponds to the first polygon and the second region S2 corresponds to the second polygon. Although the first and second regions S1 and S2 illustrated in FIG. 6 have triangular shapes, exemplary embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.

In an exemplary embodiment, the first region S1 has a planar area different from a planar area of the second region S2. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 6 , when the opening OP according to an exemplary embodiment has a quadrilateral shape on a plane and vertices of the quadrilateral are respectively defined as first, second, third, and fourth vertices P1, P2, P3, and P4, a distance 11 from a midpoint P5 between the first and third vertices P1 and P3 which face each other in the first direction DR1 to the second vertex P2 is greater than a distance 12 from the midpoint P5 between the first and third vertices P1 and P3 to the fourth vertex P4. That is, the planar area of the first region S1 is larger than the planar area of the second region S2. For example, the opening OP formed by the first and second regions S1 and S2 is asymmetrical with respect to the first imaginary straight line. In an exemplary embodiment, an area ratio of the first region S1 to the second region S2 is in a range from about 1:0.1 to about 1:0.9.

Accordingly, the opening OP has an asymmetrical shape on a plane. For example, the opening OP may have a left-right asymmetrical shape with respect to the first imaginary straight line SL on a plane. For example, referring to FIG. 6 , in an exemplary embodiment, the opening OP is symmetrical relative to an imaginary line extending from vertex P2 to vertex P4 in the second direction DR2 on a plane, and is asymmetrical with respect to an imaginary line (e.g., the first imaginary straight line SL) extending from vertex P1 to P3 in the first direction DR1 on a plane. That is, lengths of two opposing sides of a plurality of sides defining an edge of the opening OP on the plane may be different from each other.

The opening OP according to an exemplary embodiment overlaps at least a part of the conductive lines DL, PL, BE1, BE2, and BE3. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 6 , in an exemplary embodiment, the opening OP overlaps portions of the data line DL, the common power line PL, and the first connection electrode BE1 from among the conductive lines DL, PL, BE1, BE2, and BE3.

Exemplary embodiments of the present invention provide an OLED display device 101 having asymmetrical openings OP that overlap the conductive lines DL, PL, BE1, BE2, and BE3 in a configuration that reduces or prevents color shift based on the viewing angle of the OLED display device 101. For example, in an exemplary embodiment, a ratio of an overlap area between the first region S1 of the opening OP and the overlapped conductive lines from among conductive lines DL, PL, BE1, BE2 and BE3 to an overlap area between the second region S2 of the opening OP and the overlapped conductive lines from among conductive lines DL, PL, BE1, BE2 and BE3 is in a range from about 1:0.8 to about 1:1.2. Configuring an asymmetrical opening OP having such an overlap ratio reduces or prevents color shift based on the viewing angle of the OLED display device 101. According to an exemplary embodiment, the overlap area of the first region S1 with the overlapped conductive lines is substantially equal to the overlap area of the second region S2 with the overlapped conductive lines (e.g., the overlap ration is about 1:1). Configuring an asymmetrical opening OP having such an overlap ratio reduces or prevents color shift based on the viewing angle of the OLED display device 101.

For example, as illustrated in FIG. 6 , in an exemplary embodiment, when an overlap area between the first region S1 and the first connection electrode BE1 is defined as a first area A1, an overlap area between the first region S1 and the data line DL is defined as a second area A2, an overlap area between the second region S2 and the data line DL is defined as a third area A3, and an overlap area between the second region S2 and the common power line PL is defined as a fourth area A4, a sum A1+A2 of the first area A1 and the second area A2 is substantially equal to a sum A3+A4 of the third area A3 and the fourth area A4.

Thus, according to exemplary embodiments of the present invention, step difference unbalance or asymmetry due to the conductive lines DL, PL, BE1, BE2 and BE3 overlapping the opening OP may be alleviated.

Referring to FIG. 6 , according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the opening OP is divided into a first polygon (e.g., region S1) and a second polygon (e.g., region S2) with respect to the first imaginary straight line (SL) extending from a first vertex (e.g., vertex P1) of the opening OP to a second vertex (e.g., vertex P3) of the opening OP in the first direction DR1. A planar area of the first polygon (e.g., region S1) is different from a planar area of the second polygon (e.g., region S2) (e.g., the opening OP is asymmetrical with respect to the first imaginary straight line (SL)). An overlap area between the first polygon (e.g., region S1) and the overlapped conductive lines (e.g., first area A1 and second area A2) and an overlap area between the second polygon (e.g., region S2) and the overlapped conductive lines (e.g., third area A3 and fourth area A4) have a ratio in a range from about 1:0.8 to about 1:1.2, or are substantially equal to each other (e.g., have a ratio that is about 1:1). The first vertex (e.g., vertex P1) and the second vertex (e.g., vertex P3) may overlap a same one of the conductive lines (e.g., the data line DL).

Referring to FIG. 6 , according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the opening OP is divided into a first polygon (e.g., region S1) and a second polygon (e.g., region S2) with respect to a same one of the conductive lines (e.g., the data line DL), and a planar area of the first polygon (e.g., region S1) is different from a planar area of the second polygon (e.g., region S2) (e.g., the opening OP is asymmetrical with respect to the data line DL). An overlap area between the first polygon (e.g., region S1) and the overlapped conductive lines (e.g., first area A1 and second area A2) and an overlap area between the second polygon (e.g., region S2) and the overlapped conductive lines (e.g., third area A3 and fourth area A4) have a ratio in a range from about 1:0.8 to about 1:1.2, or are substantially equal to each other (e.g., have a ratio that is about 1:1).

In addition, as described above, the organic light emission layer 172 is disposed on the first electrode 171 at the opening OP, and the organic light emission layer 172 may have a shape substantially identical to a shape of the opening OP on a plane. The organic light emission layer 172 at the opening OP may be divided into a first light emission portion and a second light emission portion with respect to the first imaginary straight line SL. In an exemplary embodiment, the first light emission portion corresponds to the first region S1, and the second light emission portion corresponds to the second region S2. Accordingly, a planar area of the first light emission portion is larger than a planar area of the second light emission portion. For example, in an exemplary embodiment, an area ratio of the first light emission portion to the second light emission portion is in a range from about 1:0.1 to about 1:0.9.

FIG. 7 is a schematic plan view illustrating a plurality of first electrodes and a plurality of openings of an OLED display device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 7 , in an exemplary embodiment, at least one of a plurality of openings OPr, OPg, and OPb has a shape different from a shape of each corresponding one of a plurality of first electrodes 171 r, 171 g, and 171 b on a plane. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 7 , the first electrodes 171 r and 171 b respectively corresponding to red and blue light emission layers have shapes different from a shape of each corresponding one of the openings OPr and OPb on a plane.

The first electrodes 171 r and 171 b corresponding to the red and blue light emission layers may have a rhombic shape. For example, in an exemplary embodiment, the first electrodes 171 r and 171 b corresponding to the red and blue light emission layers have a symmetrical shape on a plane. For example, each of the first electrodes 171 r and 171 b may be bisected on a plane with respect to an imaginary straight line connecting facing vertices of the first electrodes 171 r and 171 b, respectively.

Unlike the first electrodes 171 r and 171 b, the openings OPr and OPb in the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 7 have an asymmetrical shape on a plane. The pixel defining layer 190 defines the plurality of openings OPr and OPb, and at least a part of the first electrodes 171 r and 171 b is exposed from the pixel defining layer 190 through the openings OPr and OPb. In the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 7 , the pixel defining layer 190 may be disposed so as to overlap at least a part of the first electrodes 171 r and 171 b so that the openings OPr and OPb have asymmetrical shapes on a plane.

Accordingly, unlike the first electrodes 171 r and 171 b, the openings OPr and OPb may have an asymmetrical shape on a plane, and step difference unbalance or asymmetry due to the conductive lines DL, PL, BE1, BE2 and BE3 overlapping the openings OPr and OPb may be alleviated.

Thus, as shown in FIG. 7 , in an exemplary embodiment, each of the first electrodes 171 r and 171 b is linearly symmetric with respect to an imaginary straight line extending from a first vertex of the first electrode 171 r/ 171 b to a second vertex of the first electrode 171 r/ 171 b in a first direction (e.g., a vertical direction in FIG. 7 ), and the corresponding opening OPr/OPb is asymmetric with respect to the imaginary straight line.

FIG. 8 is a schematic plan view illustrating a plurality of first electrodes and a plurality of openings of an OLED display device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 8 , in an exemplary embodiment, a plurality of openings OPr, OPg, and OPb have shapes substantially identical to a shape of each corresponding one of a plurality of first electrodes 171 r, 171 g, and 171 b on a plane. For example, the first electrodes 171 r, 171 g, and 171 b and the openings OPr, OPg, and OPb corresponding to red, green, and blue light emission layers, respectively, may each have an octagonal shape on a plane.

In the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 8 , at least one of the first electrodes 171 r, 171 g, and 171 b has an asymmetrical shape on a plane. In addition, at least one of the openings OPr, OPg, and OPb has an asymmetrical shape on a plane.

For example, as illustrated in FIG. 8 , in an exemplary embodiment, the first electrodes 171 r and 171 b corresponding to the red and blue light emission layers have a substantially equal size and a substantially identical shape, and each of the first electrodes 171 r and 171 b have an asymmetrical shape. Similarly, the openings OPr and OPb corresponding to the red and blue light emission layers have a substantially equal size and a substantially identical shape, and each of the openings OPr and OPb have an asymmetrical shape. However, exemplary embodiments are not limited thereto. For example, in an exemplary embodiment, the first electrode 171 g and the opening OPg corresponding to a green light emission layer may also have an asymmetrical shape on a plane.

As described above, according to exemplary embodiments of the present invention, an OLED display device has a plurality of openings defined by (e.g., included in) a pixel defining layer, and at least one of the plurality of openings has an asymmetrical shape on a plane such that a color shift depending on the viewing angle may be substantially reduced or prevented. Exemplary embodiments of the present invention substantially reduce or prevent a color deviation according to the viewing angle, resulting in an OLED display device having improved display characteristics.
